Ashok Kumar,
Mostly agree with your post but methinks Islamism is more then just a law and order problem. Its an ideology that will either consume India or be destroyed by it.

Given the circumstances, Modi did alright. There is no need for rajdharma bhashans.
I dont know your familiarity with riots but most of the times its tough to prosecute and punish rioters. There were 2000 pigs who gheraoed Sabarmati Express. Is it possible to arrest and punish those 2000 pigs ? So what can the govt machinery do ? Catch a few pigs here and there (lets say 10) - what kind of cases will be filed against them ? Arson, vandalism, murder lets say. Murder for 58 women and children ? Or 10 ? What about the rest of 48 ? And what about the rest of 1990 pigs ? What kind of deterrence is this ? This tells your average pig "hey i can roast anybody i want and 1990/2000 times i go free".
And once again keep one thing in mind - the reaction to Godhra was pure and simple rage. People didnt go nuts because they didnt want a repeat of Godhra. They went nuts because they couldnt see women and children burnt alive. If someone wants to learn from it, good for them.
